Below we can see the NBA three point percentage by position for the current season. The shapes include filters which in this case are the three pointers attempted. With a circle including all players with one or more threes attempted and so on.

Below, I’ve included individual graphs by attempts in case anyone is curious.

I thought I’d also present them in an easier way. The following graph is interactive so, feel free to Hover your cursor over the points. Note: You can turn off positions by clicking them.

Finally, I thought it would be fun to see how well we can predict a players 3 point percentage by attempts. The points display actual players and their percentages whereas, the line is a loess prediction. You can hover your cursor over the line to see what we’d expect a player to shoot given their 3 point attempts.

Note: You can turn off positions by clicking them.
